FGur Billions Are Needed Next Fiscal Year. HUGE EXPENDITURES ECONOMY IS NECESSARY Secretary of Treasury Houston Tells Bankers or Federal Pro gramme to Meet Indigencies. irASinXGTXDN", Oct. 20. Govern- merit expenditures of J4, 000, 000, 000 during the next fiscal year wereore- cast by Secretary Houston of the : treasury department today, before the' convention of the American Bankers' association, in wh ich he overed a id raage of financial and economic problems of the nation. The secretary outlined the trea sury's programme for handling the wa r drbt and appealed for "the etrictett economy not only in our ex penditures, federal, state, county and municipal, but also by thrift on the part of our people, "adding that the programme necessitated the main tenance of taxation "after this fiscal yar on a level of not less, than $. 000.0oo.000 annually. He paid there were indications of falling receipts. Taxes 31ut Be Reformed. "In saying the -Aggregate receipts for the government, should be main- tained at a high level for the pur- j pones indicated," he conti nued, "I am by no means committing myself to ex isting schedules or to specific taxes. J think it of urgent importance that there be prompt resurvey of the sit- i uation with a view to reform of the taxes, wiping out of inequities and1 inequalities and the assurance of suf ficient revenue which may not be re-i alized if the present system remains intact." j .The treasury's programme had been disarranged, the secretary said, by : jrlie heavy burdens imposed by the i transportation act. He estimated the ) total amount which the government j will pay the roads at $1,000,000,000,1 about one-fourth of which already has been turned over to them. The remainder will be paid, the secretary! thought, by early spring. j IlontI Redemption Predicted. i Mr. Houston predicted rapid reduc- l: tioti in the gross national debt through the coming year, particularly the $2,350,000,000 short term certificates outstanding. The- treasury programme, he added, would result in reducing this below 2. 000,000,000 and perhaps to $1,500.000,OUO. By the end of the fiscal year, 1922, Mr. Houston declared the treasury shiuld have redeemed Ito entire "floating debt" or the short term certificates, when the victory notes maturing the next year would become practically the "floating debt," and probably be accepted in payment of federal taxes. Turning to the demands of farmers for government help, Mr. Houston said, "scarcely had a reduction iu the cost of living manifested itself when every producer manifested resistance." "livery producer is willing for the products of every other producer to decline, but protests the decline in his own," h continued "There is jnuch human nature in this, but not much reasonableness. ; Situation Kettnlt of War. "The situation is the result mainly of war and in no small measure the failure of thir nation and nations everywhere to date to devise better arrangements for storage and market ing of farm products. For these things no one in particular is to blame. "In the circumstances It seems to tome farmers that they are in the way of being hit firt if not ex clusively. .They are naturally dis turbed and distressed and are seeking relief measures, some of which are nit practical and some of which are suicidal. "The first impulse of many Is to turn to the government, and espe cially to the treasury as the sole in tst i unit uta Hty for full economic sal v;t t ion. This d isposit ion, well de vcltipt'i before the war, was rein t ore id during hosti I i ties by practices of the government which became necessary fur the sucessful prosecu tion of the war and the preservation of national life. "it is the same disposition which causes resort to the government for all sorts of appropriations, many even of a purely local character. "if there is a fault, and T think there is, the blame rests largely with the public, which remains quiescent while interested groups are clamor ous. When the people realize this fact there will be a remedy and not until then."
